I plan to get the supercard and the acekard. Which model DS should I get that has the best compatibility with these? Are there any gotchas I should worry about?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that price doesn't matter at all. Willing to go with the most expensive or least expensive models. I just want the best compatibility - it's my ONLY concern.

Every DS/3DS model will work the same with the DSTWO, so I suggest the 3DS since it's current gen and you can play the latest games. The AK2i no longer works on updated 3DSes.
Acekard however no longer receives support or updates so I would recommend getting a R4i Gold (r4ids.cn model) if you decide not to get the pricier DSTWO. It costs about the same but still receives updates, has a similar loader, plus you get RTS which isn't available on AK2i. And as a plus it works on the latest 3DS firmware.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I am hoping to get one of the non 3ds models. I have an older supercard (2-3 years, at least 1 year pre-3ds) , I don't know if it will support the 3ds.

Although I will be getting a newer one because of the 3ds features, I am just interested in the original ds models at the moment.

Thanks for info though. I didn't know that about acekard or that the dstwo supported the 3ds. My info is wayyyy out of date.

I'd also go with the DSi XL because of the larger screens. Not all flashcarts will not work with a DSi XL on the latest firmware, so you should look it which firmware DSi XL works with acekard.

If he want's good gba games compatibility then the DS lite with a slot 2 cart will do. Those gba emulators for DS/3DS aren't anywhere as good as a hardware device.

why exactly do you want to use a bunch of cards?

tell us what you want to do with your flashcard and ds.

do you want just ds games and 8 bit emulators (gbc, nes, master system)?
gba too?
maximum portability or just for playing at home?

do you have big or small hands, is your eyesight good or bad?

do you care about 3ds games?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
